2nd

Criterion ($6)

Classy local Criterion returns to his pet distance of 2000m for the first time this season in the Queen Elizabeth Stakes, will leave from the ideal barrier 4 and is more than a chance of delivering on generous odds as a result. Posting five race wins and a further ten minor place finishes through his 25 career starts, Criterion won both the Group 1 Rosehill Guineas (2000m) and Group 1 Australian Derby (2400m) through the 2014 edition of the Autumn Carnival; securing several commendable results through spring before a trip abroad heralded a commendable third in the Group 1 Hong Kong Cup (2000m) at Sha Tin in December. Having placed third in the Group 1 Canterbury Stakes (1300m) and a close second in the Group 1 George Ryder (1500m) this time, all signs point towards another polished performance in the Queen Elizabeth Stakes from Criterion.

3rd

Red Cadeaux ($41)

Having placed fifth in the Group 1 Australian Cup (2000m) first-up, the Cadeaux Genereux gelding is sure to take valuable condition from the run and is more than capable of a top three finish in the 2015 Queen Elizabeth Stakes.
